Dabashi described Israel as “a dyslexic Biblical exegesis,” “occupied Palestine,” and “a vicarious avocation.” In June 2003, Dabashi said that Israel supporters “cannot see” that Israel has been a colonial country for 50 years. It was first colonized by white European colonial colonial colonial colonial colonial colonial colonial colonial colonial colonial colonials, then colonial Americans, and now it is a military base to the growing predatory empire of the United States. Israel enjoys the same privileges as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Pakistan. These bases are all military bases, but some of them are similar to the hardware of America’s imperial imagination.
In September 2004, Dabashi sharply criticized Israel in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, writing that:
In September 2004, the New York Sun reported that Victor Luria, a Ph.D. student who worked in a Columbia genetics lab and who served in the Israeli military in 1998, sent an email to Dabashi sharply criticizing him for an article he wrote in Al-Ahram. Dabashi subsequently forwarded the email to several top Columbia officials, including Alan Brinkley, claiming that he feared a “potential attack by a militant slanderer” and asked for protection from campus security. Brinkley responded that there was “nothing threatening” about Luria’s email and that campus security would not be notified.
After he had reprimanded several professors for cancelling classes to go to pro-Palestinian rallies, Dabashi scathingly criticised Rabbi Charles Sheer in 2002. In the Columbia Spectator, Dabashi stated that Rabbi Sheer had “taken upon himself the task to mobilize and spearhead a crusade for fear and intimidation against Columbia faculty members and students who have dare to speak out against the massacre of innocent Palestinians.”
